There’s a Cure for this Disease

I’m not that smart.

I’m not creative.

I’m not as good as she is.

I’m not as pretty as she is.

I’m not as brave as she is.

I’m not. I’m not. I’m not.

Beautiful, intelligent, smart, sassy women utter these words.

Why?

I wonder if these women are as harmful to others as they are to themselves. I wonder if they create this dis-ease in others as they do for themselves.

If you harm your emotional, spiritual or intellectual self with any of these or related “I’m nots,” then STOP IT!

Do yourself no harm. Cure yourself. Be kind to yourself. Please.

You can begin by affirming, I AM kind to myself.
